Fair point POP TART.would be more conferdent if there was just Drinkwater and Maloney on the field.

Perhaps the rl could have a special rule where every time Catalan score they have to take a player off - so they probably would end up with only two players left on the field.

Man for man they seem to have better players than us in key positions

Tomkins v jowitt
Maloney v miller
Drink water v Lino
very pleased to see mcolorums not in squad

In theory our outside backs should be a match - duds on Costa bousqiet v arona wood fafita pretty even , Whitley mcmeeken Garcia probably not as good as our back three - think there bench is quite a bit stronger than ours

catalan are flat track bullies and drop to bits when stood up to but the question is have all our pack got it in them to do it and to make drink water and maloney look out of sorts. That is the only time Miller and lino will get some field if we can at least reach parity with their pack. I wouldn’t send senior in or jowitt or Ryan first drive off our line either they are game but too light and it sets the tone of the set getting driven back, before we know they field the kicks and are back on half way. If we can go in with an attitude in the pack of let’s take them on then who knows if we don’t I fear a good hiding coming

Kimudgeonlyisback I would be very interested to know which of our back rowers you think is better than McMeeken who is a class act.

If you would have McMeeken in your side over Tanginoa there is something wrong with you old boy, McMeeken hasn`t had a good game in about 2 years, biggest penalty machine in the league as well.

Infact he is probably Catalans 3rd best Second rower behind Garcia and Whitley.
